...instead of immediately becoming a poetic icon, he toiled in anonymity for over 17 years, before seeing the light of the literary landscape...
...stopped sites from devising new ways to promote their perfumes and powders. Procter & Gamble's reflect.com asks women a series of questions, from their skin type to their personal style, and then offers custom-blended products not available in any store.

"Mysteries, classic dramas, maybe the more conservative sitcoms from PBS." Instead BBC America opted to distinguish itself with shows "closer to the new Beetle than to the Jaguar: vibrant, contemporary, different." While the network is not yet rated by Nielsen, it's the edgier programming--running in blocks called Cool Britannia and the Britcom Zone--that has inspired a dedicated audience following and critical praise.
